Some of the topics which I hope to delve into and try to cut through without being sidetracked include:

Taxation

Immigration

Dependence on oil

Pork barrel politics

Lazze faire assumptions

Spin versus logic

The World Bank - what is it anyway?

I fully expect to change my mind as I learn and verify new information and I hope that you will allow me the luxury of objectivity. Perhaps it isn't a luxury at all. Perhaps it is something we all need to have if we are to better ourselves, those around us and our nation.

If I had to give a short answer, it would be technocrat rational. It means finding the "right" solution without caring what either party thought. Right by hopefully the majority of common citizens regardless of party affiliation.

I can understand the Libertarian position and I hope that you find parts of my ideas refreshing although I believe we will disagree on immigration already.
